Finn Torres and Aale Agans

Are you tired of hearing the same old "fun facts"? We all know the tomato is a fruit. But did you know that tomato juice won't actually remove skunk smell? Have you heard about the man who tried to sell the Eiffel Tower? Or the 1904 Olympics complete with whiskey and wild dogs? The FinnAale is a podcast that will teach you something new every time. Aale is a tired super genius and Finn is a dumb idiot. Listen as Aale tells us all about the wild stories you never learned in history class and the crazy facts your biology teacher never taught you.

    Episode 14: The Brown Dog Affair

    Buckle in for another one. We started off strong with a very serious intro conversation about methods of science and then transitioned into the moral dilemma of owning an aging pet. This week we’ll talk about dog vivisection! Not a happy one this time folks. In other news, how many units of measurement do you know? Can you punch an animal as long as there’s a T test involved? Exposing Pavlov’s dogs, the ghost trials, apologies to the Swedish, evil Bowdoin, and troughs for humans.

    Today find out about a plane that stared out with two engines and lost two engines during flight. Our best scientists ran the numbers and it all settles to approximately zero engines during flight. We’ll also hear some more fun stories about aircrafts and their various shenanigans. This episode is full of microphone mistakes, Fire Canada (that’s when everything changed), the “Fly Good” button, and there are sheep growing on this plant made of crabs and wolves eat them - Europe, probably.
